Go get the comeback and the fruit stand
Six players come out of this game, and they are worth knowing before you shop.
24K is one of the deepest rosters in the league: the full-size 1.5g Blunt and 1g Pre-Roll, backed by a mini blunt pack totaling 2.1g and a mini pre-roll pack totaling 1.5g, each holding three rolls. Papaya Punch keeps it to a 1.5g Blunt and a 1g Pre-Roll.
Finding them is a two-step job. Oklahoma's two-step retailer route starts with the official locator, then a call to the participating dispensary asking for Presidential, the exact product name, the series and the format, since a store may not carry every size or pack on the same day.
What's inside
Both teams run the Gold build: cannabis flower, live resin and a diamond finish, with the Blunts in a 100% tobacco-free wrap and the Pre-Rolls in paper.
Papaya Punch is marked Sativa and brings a tropical fruit and berry profile, wrapped in one of the brightest packs Presidential prints. 24K is marked Indica, takes its name from a purity measure and keeps its pack to the crest, the strain and the build under a golden serpent.
The 24K minis are the extra option. Reading what changes when a blunt goes mini explains it: the wrapped construction stays, while the total material and the burn path get shorter.
